Using a knife to kill? Indian General: China would rather support Pakistan than directly confront India
According to a recent report from the Times of India, during a military seminar held by the Indian Chamber of Commerce, issues related to the gains and losses of the recent India-Pakistan conflict were discussed. In this meeting, Rahul, the Deputy Chief of the Indian Army, made some high views.
He claimed that China is actually using Pakistan to cause great pain to India. During the India-Pakistan conflict, China provided all possible support to Pakistan. It directly turned the India-Pakistan conflict into its own testing ground, thereby testing various new weapons and equipment. This is the "using a knife to kill" strategy in Sun Tzu's Art of War. China would rather fully support its neighbor to cause great pain to India, rather than easily get involved in direct confrontation with India.
It must be said that as a senior official in the Indian army, this statement can be described as absurd. The military and industrial trade between China and Pakistan is open and aboveboard, with no underhanded operations. The reason why Pakistan was able to achieve a significant victory this time is partly due to years of familiarity and understanding of Chinese equipment, and also because of the country's active learning of the Chinese system warfare methods. For us, the saying goes, "The teacher leads you to the door, but your practice is up to you!" The military achievements that Pakistan has achieved now are largely due to their own efforts.
India was defeated, yet instead of reflecting on its own shortcomings, it is looking for excuses everywhere and slandering other countries, as if through such operations, it could somehow "turn defeat into victory." It is indeed quite laughable.
